For those of you who don't know, the VFX site Download Pirate was removed by
|
|
/r/Piracy and placed in their unsafe list following this
|
|
[thread](https://redd.it/1aswsl7). According to the post, OP downloaded Adobe
|
|
Acrobat and got a pretty nasty trojan.
|
|
|
|
To test this we downloaded it and [checked the checksum](https://ibb.co/rGHXT0w)
|
|
of each of the files compared to m0nkrus, and they match exactly. Its hard to
|
|
say what happened to OP, but it seems pretty likely that they got the trojan
|
|
from something other than Download Pirate.
|
|
|
|
If someone has a virustotal scan, or some sort of proof Download Pirate is
|
|
malicious please [let us know](https://redd.it/1atkloc).

**update** - Here's a setup scan thanks to /u/LichessLuvr which seems to be
|
|
clean:
|
|
[Adobe Acrobat Pro DC 2023 v23.8.20421 x64](https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/04889538532f10f910029a5ef65068aed713019fb50462546e82ee8ced81350b)

|
**update 2** - We just scanned all of the
|
|
[patched files](https://ibb.co/VxBwzN3) and they came back clean too, so this is
|
|
unlikely to have malware unless its hidden really well within the ISO. OP either
|
|
got malware from an ad on the file host or already had the trojan before
|
|
installing Acrobat.
|
|
|
|
We're still open to new evidence if someone comes forward with it, but for now
|
|
we can't find any reason to think they're malicious so we're going to keep them
|
|
in FMHY. The version OP downloaded is v23.8.20421 from 1cloudfile if someone
|
|
wants to check it themselves.
